Amateur Radio License? Well here is your starting point. On this page you will find
on-line resources as well as publications that will help you pass the test. If you
need information concerning clubs in your area, and are unsure how to contact them,
I have a very simple method for you to try. Look in the yellow pages and find your
nearest Radio Shack or Two-way communications. When you call, ask the person that
answers if they have a Ham operator working there, most do. The should be able to help you
get started with a name and telephone number to a club in your area. Many clubs
offer either classes or testing.

America's Quiet Warriors
America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators,
700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur,
unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and
tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and
families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the disaster to the space shuttle Columbia, and right now, at this moment,
they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make
public. — Paul Harvey News and Comment, ABC Radio, March 19, 2003 |
